Chain wears doing so it gets longer. Since there isn't usually a tensioning devices on an IGH bike, the chain get loose pretty quickly and tend to jump when you ride on a bumpy road or something like this. I mostly solved this by doing a DIY adjustable chain jump guard like this one but on the rear sprocket
